2025 BLOOMSBURY FESTIVAL
Our 2025 Festival weekend ran from Friday 17 – Sunday 19 October with a busy weekend of music, performance, exhibitions walks, talks and family events.
There are some exhibitions still running beyond the Festival weekend, which can be explored here.
You can view our 2025 brochure as an online flip book.
Our theme, The Paths We Tread, was inspired by our heritage research and stories about the history of our local streets and places, which has linked us to characters of the past. This provided a very broad range of interpretations for the wider programme where artists are following their own personal and cultural ‘paths’ and creative exploration.
2026 BLOOMSBURY FESTIVAL
In 2026, Bloomsbury Festival celebrates our 20th Anniversary. A month-long Festival will take place during October – look out for more details in Spring 2026!
